PUBLIC:

We are very excited to announce the second Keynote Speaker for the 12th Founder Showcase: Justin Moore, Founder and CEO of Axcient. Axcient is a cloud platform that eliminates downtime and data loss and ensures data application uptime for businesses. Justin will be joining David Sacks (Founder and CEO of Yammer) on stage for what promises to be a great event.

Under Justin's leadership, Axcient has been growing at a three-year rate of 2,462% - no you did not read that wrong - enough to earn the company Inc Magazine's recognition as Silicon Valley’s #7 fastest-growing company. The company currently protects nearly 3 billion files and applications, and provides instant access to the information and systems that keep a business up-and-running. In addition to his work at Axcient, Justin is also a Venture Partner at Thomvest Ventures, where he focuses on enterprise and SaaS investments.

The Founder Showcase is TheFunded.com's pitch and networking event, gathering over 600 startup founders and investors in San Francisco to launch a promising new company to greatness.
